koastar: On the issue the poster raised about including personal information like date of birth, I have heard some HR saying it has to be included even when it is not requested. The HR person further said a CV without date of birth is assumed that the applicant is above a considerable age and he's trying to hide it. All these cause confusion and I think if there is no universal standard, applicants should study the organization he/she is applying to and comform to their standard.

dazzy4real: @poster I was surprised when I read the part of age not being compulsory when I thought 'twas no. 1

Different flakes for different folks I guess but I don't think there can be universal standards, maybe 'generally accepted resume principles'; we need to realise that each organisation has its peculiar needs from applicants so try to tailor your resume to the REQUIREMENTS they advertised.-

Some people have suggested having multiple CVs which is quite reasonable so that the CV you send to an employer completely matches (most of) what the employer wants from you.

As for age, I know a school of thought that doesn't deem it compulsory. Sometimes, the age could be estimated when your education profile is seen but if the age requirement is stated, just put your DOB there for (except you're the 'special one') HR may not bother calling to confirm. Ditto, marital status (the job could require someone who travels alot).

olly pass: i guess that's because most of what is highlighted by the poster actually doesn't have any impact in Nigeria's paddy paddy labour market where less than 5% of jobs are actually won on merit and that most of the times are foreign organizations.

lysaa: As much as your point is true to an extent, there's no harm in trying.

As much as there's a point there, the judgement is IMO skewed. When you succumb to certain 'conspiracies', it's akin to slave mentality which would let you remain in chains.

Deife has mentioned vital points. Arial however remains 'safe'.

Chylo: In Nigeria now, everyone is just talking about connection connection, but I have none. AM trusting in God sha.

Thanx for all the advice.

iGuess Nigeria had the first School of LinkedIn. You don't need to be 'kicking anyone's boots' but you do need connection - see it as maintaining contacts or networking. Goodluck

1. I didn't want to believe this until I confirmed this evening

2. It's funny how you wrote "scam alert" even when it's MTN - is that their reputation? heheheh

3. This promo is in one word - RIDICULOUS.

acidtalk: Did I forget to also mention the only cereal I take is Golden morn? My Quaker oat could expire without noticing it.

Due to my friends yabs and insult, I hide my Golden Morn where they will hardly find it.

My fwend, bone them jare. Na so my sister bin dey tell me dat time say na small pikin dey take am.

Abeg, consume it with confidence. You're not alone in it and I actually find it a good enough cereal that can serve as a food substitute till night (instead of eating the hungry man pack - lol). I can finish corn flakes pack in a go as compared to golden morn - really worth the economics o!

AJJ: My dear, that was just a thought. All you have to do is prove it wrong if it is.

Is that the hypothesis for your research or the OP's?

The disadvantage @maclatunji didn't mention was the link to cancer due to the use of CHARCOAL. A health expert said this too some years ago and I was like "hmmmmmm". The same reason boli (roasted plantain) or roasted yam ain't encouraged.

Well, I do eat it once in a blue moon (e'thing in moderation) and I like 'em not too black/roasted (or even black at all sef).

Clemzy16: if you remove money from your mom's bag in your house without her concert. Are you stealing or taking?

You are taking it without her permission

alaoeri: But why is it that the announcement is coming from federal government & not UAC management?

Exactly my thoughts! Just the same way the FG went out with their deregulation propaganda vis-a-vis telecommunications industry.

If even not true, this is free (massive) PR for UAC's product sef.

... that's why it's for HUNGRY MEN!

Whilst some people set up websites to post nonsense and tag themselves 'journalists', I really don't understand why they wanna write some stuffs that are obviously biased.

While this piece should really not honour any response, enlighten me on how 1995 and 1997 are related? For wikipedia has it that he finished in Sudan in 1997 and moved to UBA in 1997.

How I wish the Nigerian Police Force can discover "fresh facts" after decades like you guys.

Poor homework guys.

jmaine: [size=20pt]So ? [/size]


P:S ===> Where is your source ? . . . .

Was gonna ask about that too

This endorsement of a thing got to its annoying heights during GEJ's election campaign. Appears to be a new way of candidates' PR to attract the sentiment of the public due to a popular person's opinion. Such 'popular person' may not even vote on the election day e.g. "U.S group endorses Mr. XYZ". hmmm

CFAI's report -

http://annual.cfainstitute.org/2011/06/03/banks-dont-fail-they-are-destroyed-says-nigerias-crusading-central-bank-chief/



By Usman Hayat, CFA

Over the past three years, which country’s central bank has pushed the boldest reforms in response to the financial crisis? After listening to a riveting talk delivered last month by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi at the 64th CFA Institute Annual Conference, I’m convinced that the answer is Nigeria.


When Sanusi, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, took the stage at Scotland’s landmark Usher Hall, I was not expecting an enlightening session on regulatory reform. After all, Nigeria does not usually make news headlines for its financial sector reform efforts — nor are central bankers, in general, known for their boldness. And Sanusi was speaking near the end of a whirlwind three-day conference that had already featured an outstanding lineup of distinguished speakers, including James Grant ( Video) and Raghuram Rajan .

Yet more than any other speaker, Sanusi commanded the audience’s attention from the moment he began talking. He used no notes. He had no slides. With a mix of candidness and humor, the central banker drew spontaneous applause and laughter. And when Sanusi finished, he garnered the Conference’s only standing ovation. Considering his audience of 1,300 delegates from 62 countries — mostly experienced investment professionals from the world’s elite financial institutions — this was no small feat. Sanusi provided delegates with a compelling review of financial reform in Nigeria.

In addition to the usual steps to prevent a run on banks — such as liquidity and capital injections — reforms in Africa’s most populous country, according to Sanusi, have included the removal of bank management at a number of troubled institutions; prison sentences for some CEOs; recovery of a portion of stolen wealth; restrictions on the tenure and future employment of bank directors; restrictions on the use of demand deposits; recovery of the costs of bailouts from banks; and, last but not least, risk-sharing arrangements to better channel capital to the real economy. Can you think of another central bank that is pursuing such bold reforms? I can’t. Of course, in a developing country like Nigeria, reformers must battle a unique set of challenges. Sanusi explained that the collapse of oil prices, the stock market crash, and the global financial crisis were not the primary causes of the Nigerian financial crisis. However, they did help to expose a more fundamental and pervasive problem: corruption. “Banks don’t fail,” Sanusi contended. “They are destroyed. And you have got to find who destroyed the bank.” To prove his point, the central banker highlighted some shocking examples, including the case of a bank CEO who stole US$2 billion through fraudulent lending. Sanusi asserted that such a crime could only be discovered because his central bank had taken over the management of distressed institutions. There was a “conspiracy of silence,” Sanusi explained, among bankers, who wrongly assumed that unethical practices in other institutions would not affect their own enterprises. The central bank is now recovering most of the cost of the bailout from the banking sector, an effort which highlights the fact that malfeasance at one bank is indeed a threat to the shareholders of other banks. “This whole idea that institutions should privatize their profits and socialize their losses is anathema to me,” Sanusi said, explaining the thought underlying the reforms.


Despite being a former banker himself, he asserted that “the banking industry needs to be taught a little humility. It is too arrogant.”


Sanusi also addressed a question that was no doubt on the minds of many in the audience: How did the reform effort in Nigeria overcome political interference? His explanation was simple: The central bank won the support of the Nigerian public by disclosing details of wrongdoing in the banking sector, thus making it difficult for entrenched interests to short-circuit reform. The bigger issue, Sanusi argued, is ensuring that the financial sector serves the real economy and doesn’t become an “incestuous pool” that leads to “financialization” of the economy, as he believes has happened in the United States.



When Sanusi finished his speech, the first question from the audience was, “Would you please take over the [U.S.] Fed next?” The response: applause and laughter. A final query struck a far more serious tone: Is the central bank chief personally in danger given the war he is waging on vested interests? Downplaying any threat to his life, Sanusi smiled and responded, “You die anyway when it is time to die; I am not worried at all.”

aieromon: Unfortunately,there's isn't any way out of the plan until you reach its due date.

aze: Send DEACTIVATE to 440. Then try subscribing again

True.



Btw, why d'you wanna cancel it?

Anyway, one thing I do know for this Airtel BIS on other devices that are not BB is that, you can stop auto renewal of your BIS. Thus, using myself a case study, if my data plan was supposed to end December while my BIS (used on another smartphone) should end October and I still have some bytes on my data plan, the internet plan would ultimately end with the end date of my BIS plan despite the fact that you still have unused data that could 've been used till December.

Hence, "stopautorenew" helps you to make use of the data till the expiry date that shows when you check *141*712*0# instead of the date BIS will end since you have no business with the BIS.

lukecent: @Justiyke4u, ll it work on ma htc touch pro2?

Yes

Wow.. It's just personal preference of the OP but am glad other posters 've pointed out the issues with chinko phones although @dustyde tried to make the point of we not even achieving the copy-cat 'feat' of the Chinese.

In China, you could get alternatives basically depending on your needs and we do need to remember that our so-called 'big' phones are from there although based on Manufacturer's specifications.

Btw, Tecno is not a chinko phone, it's a Chinese phone. Heheheheh

Chinko are mostly IMITATIONS. Tecno is a BRAND from the Chinese phone manufacturer.

Congrats to Messrs Bank-Owo-leleyi

newazuka: good day, tank you for your effort and time. Please I need airtel and mtn settings for htc dream g1 phone. Thank you again. 08054611423

Sir, just follow the instructions as I posted for the WM phones too. When you get to the settings on your Android, it's only the Access Point that's needed. The name can be whatever name you wanna give it.

When some people had no access to the internet, they freely ate Semovita and all other NIS certified product that had the Vitamin logo on them. Then Youtube came, documentaries etc and they all conspired against their mindset.

Perhaps it's right that what you don't know won't kill you, so maybe some of us should simply not know for the effect of knowing too much go just make you hang yourselves. Take it easy with all 'em Illuminati addictions. Those yabbing the guy are not ignorant of it,. they just have this aspiring called CONTROL.

Once again, Illuminati ko, Ilu Mushin ni!!!!

valarinz: Thanks Mustay, but the htc touch pro2 is not an android phone, its a windows mobile phone so the .apk files won't work on it.

Yeah very true. Just remembered. Their OS are different so unfortunately, it can't work o!
